Thought Police on the March
Christian Students Told To Repudiate Beliefs Or Else

Homosexual activists are no longer content to try to end
"discrimination" against homosexuals--they are now trying to impose
discrimination on anyone who dissents from their views.

The most recent evidence comes from Georgia, where Augusta State
University counseling student Jennifer Keeton has had to file a
federal lawsuit, with the help of our friends at Alliance Defense
Fund, to defend her rights.

When Jen expressed her Christian view that homosexual conduct is
morally wrong in class and in private conversation with other
students, the faculty responded by insisting that she participate
in a "remediation plan"--essentially, a year-long program of
intensive pro-homosexual indoctrination that would only be
considered successful if she abandoned her moral values.

Unfortunately, this is not the first such story of political
correctness in the counseling profession reaching totalitarian
levels. ADF is representing a student who was already kicked out of
a similar program at Eastern Michigan University, and another woman
who was fired as a counselor for the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention, her story appears on our video "ENDA: The End of
Religious Freedom in America?." This radical agenda--not just to
officially affirm homosexuality, but to forcefully crush any
dissent--is exactly what Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan has
endorsed. When will they learn that we have no intention of
forfeiting our constitutional right to free speech and freedom of
religion?

ADF says "A public university student shouldn't be threatened with
expulsion for being a Christian and refusing to publicly renounce
her faith, but that's exactly what's happening here. Simply put,
the university is imposing thought reform," said ADF Senior Counsel
David French. "Abandoning one's own religious beliefs should not be
a precondition at a public university for obtaining a degree. This
type of leftist zero-tolerance policy is in place at far too many
universities, and it must stop. Jennifer's only crime was to have
the beliefs that she does."
